When you look at actual pounds, then yes, a person who weighs 300 pounds might lose 3 pounds a week, but a 150 pound person may lose 2 pounds a week. Mainly, because the 300 pound person has more pounds to lose.
However, when you look at percentages, there really isn't much of a difference. Your body will only give up so much fat without going into starvation mode.

Let's say a fat person who eats 3000 cal a day and a skinny person who eats 1500 cal a day go on the same diet and they both start eating 1000 cal a day. A fat person will be losing 1 lb every 1.75 days VS a skinny person will be losing 1 lb every 7 days.

you may start out losing pounds at a faster rate, but it will slow down

The greater amount of mass you have to move, the more calories you burn. So a larger person will actually burn more than a small person when doing cardio/ working out.
